A Better Bad Idea cover

In A Better Bad Idea, Evelyn must confront her painful past and fight for her future as secrets threaten to consume her and those she loves.

In A Better Bad Idea, Evelyn Peters finds herself trapped in the suffocating confines of McNair Falls, a town that has become a prison of her own making. With her mother’s abusive boyfriend looming over her family, Evelyn is desperate to escape, not just for herself but also for her little sister. The weight of her circumstances pushes her toward the only person she feels she can connect with: Ashton Harper, the former golden boy who is now entangled in a web of grief and loss due to the tragic death of his girlfriend, Reid Brewer. Their lives are intertwined in ways they never anticipated, and the emotional turmoil only deepens as they navigate their shared pain.

One fateful night changes everything for Evelyn and Ashton, igniting a spark that leads to a series of choices neither of them can take back. The flames of their past and present collide, forcing them to confront not only their feelings for each other but also the dark secrets that have haunted them. As they attempt to flee the chaos of their lives, they soon realize that leaving McNair Falls is not as straightforward as it seems. The town holds onto its secrets tightly, and some truths are more dangerous than others.

A Better Bad Idea is a gripping tale of love, loss, and the lengths one will go to protect family. As the reckoning approaches, Evelyn must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to ensure her own survival and that of her sister. In a world where not everyone will make it out alive, the stakes have never been higher.
